    win 10 to win 11 reinstall

    MY Laptop was win 10 but i recieved the prompt to install the free win 11 install

    The laptop needs to go in to the manf for repair

    If they need to reinstall os it will be back to win 10 i assume

    how do i get win 11 back

    will i again get the prompt saying your elgible for free win 11 upgrade

    is there a way to put the os on a flash drive and other stuff on a flash drive

    thanks

    Impossible to reinstall Internet Explorer 11

    Hello,

    I know the very simple article you suggest.

    However I already wrote that IE is no more listed in my accessories, programs, uninstall a program, etc.

    I need an expert hint to force win 10 to accept reinstall a full version of IE 11 (it repeats that I already have Edge; but Edge is not IE)

    Yours

    reinstalled win 10 instead of 11

    Trying to connect to a printer that is physically on a Win 10 computer from a Win 11 computer to no avail.

    Hello Geldman,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting to your printer. Since you’ve already tried the solutions suggested on the internet, here are a few more things you can try:

    1. Make sure that the printer is shared on the Win 10 computer. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “Share this printer” in the Sharing tab.
    2. Ensure that the printer is visible to other devices on the network. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “List in the directory” in the Sharing tab.
    3. Try disabling any firewalls or antivirus software temporarily on both the Win 10 and Win 11 computers to see if that resolves the issue.
    4. Check if the printer is compatible with Windows 11. You can check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers and software for your printer.
    5. Try connecting the printer to a different USB port on the Win 10 computer.
    6. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings and then setting it up again.
    I hope one of these solutions works for you,

    Fathia A
